The pharmaceutical industry "13th Five-Year Plan" puts medical packaging as the key direction

The "13th Five-Year Plan" should focus on the promotion of the pharmaceutical packaging industry, coordination, promotion, development of pharmaceutical preparations, the goal and path of ensuring the quality of medicines and drug safety, and adapt to the diversified development needs of the pharmaceutical industry, with the reform of the pharmaceutical industry. Deepening, the requirements for medicines and packaging are getting higher and higher. The pharmaceutical packaging materials should adapt to the development and requirements of the pharmaceutical industry, and establish the goal of the development of the pharmaceutical packaging materials industry with the core of clinical drug safety.

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the growth of major economic indicators of China's pharmaceutical industry slowed down, but it was higher than the overall growth rate of the national industry. The compound annual growth rate of the main business income of the enterprise was 17.4%, and the compound profit growth rate of the total profit was 14.5%. The added value of the pharmaceutical industry has gradually increased in the proportion of the national industrial industry. In 2015, the annual growth rate was 9.8%, which was higher than the overall industrial growth rate of 3.7 percentage points. The growth of pharmaceutical exports slowed down and the export structure improved. Since the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, the export of chemical preparations has grown at an average annual rate of 17.3%; the proportion of total pharmaceutical exports has increased from 3.8% in 2010 to 5.35% in 2014. The export growth of preparations has led to an increase in the quality of pharmaceutical packaging products, and the export speed of pharmaceutical packaging products has increased. According to the data analysis, the export growth rate of all kinds of pharmaceutical packaging materials during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period is about 10% on average, especially the registration and production of a batch of new biological drugs, and a series of new types of COP bottles and dry powder inhalation devices for pharmaceutical packaging materials. The pharmaceutical packaging material has broadened the development space.

It is estimated that by 2020, the scale of the pharmaceutical industry will grow steadily, and the main business income will maintain medium and high-speed growth, with an average annual growth rate of more than 10%, accounting for a significant increase in the proportion of the industrial economy. The innovation capability has been significantly enhanced, the product quality has been comprehensively improved, the supply security system has been improved, the internationalization pace has been significantly accelerated, and the overall quality of the pharmaceutical industry has been greatly improved. The pharmaceutical industry's "13th Five-Year" development goals, pharmaceutical excipients and packaging materials are two key directions. In the field of pharmaceutical packaging materials, it is necessary to speed up the upgrading of packaging system products, develop packaging system drug delivery devices, develop new materials with high safety and good quality performance, and gradually eliminate varieties with high quality and safety risks. Focus on accelerating the conversion of injection packaging from low borosilicate glass bottles to neutral borosilicate glass bottles, and developing new materials such as cycloolefin polymers and styrene thermoplastic elastomers used in syringes, infusion bags, blood bags, etc. A high barrier material for pharmaceuticals that improves the quality of pharmaceutical grade polypropylene, polyethylene and halobutyl rubber. Develop new packaging systems and drug delivery devices to provide specific functions, meet formulation technical requirements, improve patient compliance, and ensure medication safety. Focus on the development of aerosol delivery devices and special drug delivery devices for powders, self-administered syringes, pre-filled syringes, automatic mixing devices, and other new syringes, multi-chamber bags and infusion packages with the function of removing insoluble particles. Intelligent packaging system for memory function, quality monitoring function, child safety packaging for household medicine and elderly friendly packaging.
